Location:
HUCE Seminar Room MCZ 429
Speaker: Professor Brian Farrell
Professor Farrell will lead the discussion on the paper titled "Attribution of the 2017 northern high plains drought" by Hailan Wang, et al. (find paper here)
Professor Farrell's blurb is below.
This paper will be used to introduce a discussion on prediction and attribution of regional climate variation in response to global warming. The authors conclude that internal atmospheric variability was primarily responsible for the causative precipitation deficits in the case of the drought they examined while global warming may have exacerbated dry condition by enhancing surface warming.
